Accelerate Your Business Growth

Welcome back to Accelerate Your Business Growth! In today’s episode, Diane Helbig is joined by branding and strategy powerhouse Michele Kasl, who brings over 20 years of experience at the intersection of branding, design, and creative strategy. Michele dives deep into the dramatic

Together, Diane and Michele break down what most business owners are getting wrong about how people find them online, why being a generalist is no longer enough, and how authenticity and specificity are the keys to building a trustworthy digital presence.
